1. List 4 examples of dough conditioners.
a) Oxidizing agents
b) Reducing agents
c) Emulsifiers
d) Enzymes
2. What is the role of emulsifier in dough formulation?
Emulsifier helps to strengthen the dough, gives better mixing and handling tolerance, improves mechanical slicing characteristics, increases loaf volume and retards staling.
3. What is the role of reducing agents in dough formulation?
Reducing agents helps to shorten the mixing time and reduce the mixing energy by encouraging the development of gluten.
